Editing references

Duplicate references in EndNote may lead to confusing by citing both versions and thus having double entries in your bibliography/reference list.

To find and remove duplicate references:

Go to References > Find Duplicates

You will be asked to compare the duplicates found:

Select ‘Keep This Record’ for the reference you want, or

Click ‘Cancel’ to close this box.

The ‘Duplicate References’ screen will be open, with the duplicate references highlighted

Right-click and select ‘Move References to Trash’.

If you want to update multiple citations at the same time (eg. adding a retrieval date or label), the best time to do it is when you have just imported them (in the ‘Imported References’ window) or in a Group.

To edit a field in multiple citations:

Go to Tools > Change/Move/Copy Fields…

The Change/Move/Copy Fields pop-up box will appear

In the Select a field… drop-down menu, choose ‘Access Date’

Click Replace whole field with:

Enter a date and click OK.

Click OK to confirm that you want to change that field in all references
